275/35 19 Tire Review Highlights
Continental WinterContact 8 S rated 94% while driving a BMW 530D Xdrive Msport

I changed from 20” to 19” wheels (because of frequent wheel cracks on the 20” run flat set up). The change has positively transformed the car, reducing brain crunching bangs and eliminating skittish behaviour when cornering on imperfect roads. I have had the opportunity to drive the 8S tires on a mixture of road conditions including dry, wet, snow, slush and ice; the tires inspire confidence across a wide variety of conditions. Driving in snow and slush, the tires are sure footed and you don’t see stability control called in to action, when driving appropriately. On clear roads you can drive as confidently as you would with summer tires. The only notable difference is greater road noise with the winter tires; not horrible but noticeable.

One of the worst wet grip tires on the market. If you have a rear wheel drive car avoid at all costs.

Tires feel amazing in terms of feed back and grip in wet and dry can get a bit hot on track Quiet and comfortable only down side is wear rate 4800 miles rears down to 4mm in 6 months.
Yokohama ADVAN APEX V601 rated 50% while driving a Toyota Supra

I gave into the all the marketing Yokohama did for the V601 on the GR Supra, and I was ultimately underwhelmed. The grip on this tire is great(especially during launch control), however, this tire lacks feedback. For being a street / sports car-oriented tire, these don't do a great job at transmitting road feel to the steering wheel compared to the factory Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Another notable trait of the V601 is a considerable increase in stopping distance. Braking does not feel as confident as it used to and the tires tend to squeal under medium to hard braking. Initial bite when making sharper turns is quite reduced compared to the Michelin and overall, seems to have watered down a great sports car.
They tend to have a very muted on-center feel that results in less confidence and feel when taking a hard corner. I personally will not be running these again when it's time to replace tires. Decent option for a cheaper tire on a larger sized wheel, however I will be looking into other brands of tire from now on.

I had these tires replacing some ovation vi 388, the have far far bettee handling dry and wet, no complain except the wear barely after 5,000 miles tires are below 50% life, not worth at all after the cost.
Falken Azenis RS820 rated 81% while driving a Nissan 370Z
Driving on a combination of roads for 300 spirited miles
Driving on a combination of roads for 300 spirited miles
After a long process of deliberating which tires to fit on my 370z, I decided to give the new RS820s a try.
And up to now I have to say I’m really very happy with them. They replaced a set of Michelin Pilot 4Ss, which again, as we all know they’re a great tire.
The Falken RS820 is a little quieter at motorway speed, useful in a car that’s known for being quite noisy.
They are more temperature sensitive than the Michelins were and will definitely wear quicker but the Falkens definitely feel better under braking where in the dry, from 70mph the 370z could use almost 100% of it’s total braking capability before any ABS intervention.
In the wet, that was still around 3/4 which is impressive nonetheless.
When the limits of grip are breached, the breakaway is predictable and “friendly” with the added bonus of giving the car a slightly more pointy front end compared to the Michelins.
I do think the Michelins are a better all round tire for day to day use, but the Falkens come out on top in terms of sheer performance and added driver engagement.
Will definitely fit again.

Very good and predictable tire on wet.similar traction to michelin ps4s. Dry handling is great for street tire,but after 7-8 hard laps on 3.2km track they start to feel soft and degrade slowly. Very good tire for beginners because it is not snappy and traction does not lose instantly on limit.

Do not overlook these tires. Normally I would not entertain less than premium brands for a high performance car, but after reading a review in EVO I thought I would give them a try and have used them since. They have tremendous grip wet or dry, easily the equal of Michelin 4S and even the Conti 7. As an ex racer I drive my dedicated sports car very hard when conditions permit so I never expect big miles, it isn't my priority. In my opinion these are miles better than the equivalent Pirelli offerings.

Good tire - gone too soon though.
Purchased in January 23 for my BMW 520d. Car is used for commuting, never really driven hard as its not quick, but found they wore out fairly quickly after doing around 10,000 miles.
I did suspect this when I took delivery and saw the treadwear rating. I'm sure the trade-off would be better on a car driven more spiritedly, but for the daily commute, I think I will be looking for an alternative.

Purchased these for my 2008 BMW E92 M3. They were recommended on an M3 facebook page by multiple people as a decent value alternative to Michelins etc. Some people even said they were better than the flagship premium brands, so thought they were worth a go!
Initial impressions were ok, but over the space of a few weeks started to notice their flaws. I found that even when you engaged a little bit of power (not flooring the pedal) the traction light would regularly light up. This was not the case with the outgoing Michelins PS4's. I also found in the wet they did not give much confidence. In dry condition they are improved, but certainly not in the same league as Goodyear Eagle F1's, PS4/PS5's etc. That I could somewhat live with given their price...but regretted not buying Michelin or Continentals.
What I have found really poor though is the wear....and reading the reviews here I am clearly not the only one! They have only lasted about 6k miles and it is not driven particularly hard. This is roughly half, maybe closer to a third of the life of the outgoing Michelins. Having also had PS5's on a Mercedes A35 AMG that have lasted 20k miles and that is AWD, along with PS4's on a 335d Tourer Xdrive lasting 17k miles, these fall seriously short.
So therefore they really are false economy. Not only do they somewhat impede the performance of a powerful car (and that's what they seem to be aimed at), if they only last 30-50% of that of a Michelin they work out to be quite expensive!

Got told these tires are a B rating for wet grip. Not sure who lied but they are terrible! Pulled onto the roundabout and had to apply opposite lock as the arse end tried to overtake me. As for dry grip, I pulled out of a junction briskly and left half the tread behind. Paid £90 a tire for these. Would rather spend £60 like the last set and have them on for another 15k miles.

Bought these for the rear of my VF Redline Commodore.
They are quite soft and grip well and comfort wise are great value for money.
I have only driven in the dry to date so cannot comment on wet grip.
One thing I didn't like is they are only 265 wide when inflated. They are 275 at rest off the rims but are only 265 when fitted to rims and inflated.
A little misleading and as such I won't be buying them again. For spirited weekend driving in the dry, they are good value for money.
